How Does Mazda 6 Alignment Work?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Mazda 6’s suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. During the service, your tire angles are adjusted according to measurements recommended by Mazda. Why? So that your tires can make contact with the road at the best possible angle. When the system is aligned to Mazda specifications, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. Three good things happen as a result: you enjoy a smoother ride, the lifespan of your tires increases, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2021 Mazda 6, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Mazda. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your Mazda 6

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Mazda 6 alignment checked about every 6,000 miles. Even one misaligned wheel can wreak havoc on your fuel efficiency, and over time can lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle. You may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 2021 Mazda 6: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or squealing tires. You won’t see any warning lights on your 6 dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.

Costs for Mazda 6 Alignment Services

On a budget? Mazda 6 wheel alignment might be more affordable than you think. Over the life of your car, it could help you save on overall costs. Correctly aligned wheels can help boost fuel efficiency and increase the lifespan of your tires, so you get more miles out of the same tank of gas and set of tires. Proper wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs. Contact your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a no-hassle 2021 Mazda 6 wheel alignment estimate.
